It Works!

Just one more thing, how can I make it full page.. its really small.

PDF to PDF is not recommended with Image Magick.

PDF is a vector image (draw lines and text) file format, and Imagemagick is a raster (pixel array) image processor.

See A word about Vector Image formats.

So you are telling me this can not be ...

Yours worked but not quite.

OK maybe I should start over and fill you in on what I am trying to do exactly.

Ok I have 3 images:
- url test1.png
- spanish url test2.png
- logo test3.png

these 3 images have to be placed into a .pdf that already exists we will call this test.pdf

After all these ...

I have been trying this for the most of the day and I can not figure this out.

I want to compose a single image with multiple images. Something along the lines of:

convert -transparent white -size 360x140 label:'this is a test for a url' test1.png
convert -transparent white -size 360x140 label ...

Ok this worked

convert -transparent white -size 165x70 label:'this is a test' label_size_fit.png

composite label_size_fit.png -gravity East -geometry +200-100 -density 350 test.pdf output.pdf

Yay I'm getting somewhere.

This app is great!

I have been struggling with this for some time now.

convert -background white -size 165x70 label:'this is a test' label_size_fit.jpeg

composite -compose Copy label_size_fit.jpeg -background white -gravity East -geometry +200-100 -density 350 test.pdf output.pdf

This all looks great except that ...

Yay even though gs. isn't in the delegates...

Have just ran:


composite -compose Copy caption.png -gravity East -geometry +200-100 -density 350 test.pdf output.pdf

seems to have worked out fine, all except one little error.

The way that caption.png overlays it gives a dark grey background ...

I have tried that should have put that in there, sorry but thats when I have gotten:


Ghostscript lib --with-gslib=yes no

without configuring with gslib it looks like this:

Ghostscript lib --with-gslib=no no

and my identify -list configure brings back this:

Name Value ...

Heres what it in my /usr/local/bin directory:
bdftops eps2eps gs gsdj500 gsnd lwp-dump lwp-rget pdfopt printafm ps2pdf ps2pdf14 ps2ps2 wftopfa

Good call. Wont be able to test till Monday.

thanks I will try but it maybe because I am using 64-bit, have read somewhere from google that I may have to move those files to /lib64

but If these don't work I think I may switch to CentOS and give the .rpm install a shot.

Thank you so much for your ...

Ok this is starting to be a bit frustrating...

identify -list configure

Path: /usr/local/lib/ImageMagick-6.6.7/config/configure.xml

CC gcc -std=gnu99 -std=gnu99
CFLAGS -fopenmp -g -O2 -Wall -pthread ...

Thanks I fixed the install had to go to the package manager and re-install the core

but now after I had installed the delegates it appears I have less then before? And still with no ghostscript


DELEGATES fontconfig freetype jpeg jng png x11 zlib

Will keep at it, something has to work.

well thanks although I have installed the delegates.. ImageMagick wont install correctly from source:

I have done

./configure
make
make install

tested and here is the output:

user@host:~/Desktop/ImageMagick-6.6.7-7$ display
display: error while loading shared libraries: libMagickCore.so.4 ...

Have tried out those links you sent but no luck! Images are still looking very pixelated. Also just tried a simple convert card.jpg card.pdf
shows nothing but a black page leaving my caption.gif that was composed onto the card.jpg the only thing visible.

I think I have something messed up! Thinking ...

Let me start over, maybe I am going about this wrong. (I am very new to ImageMagic)

Maybe it would be easier if I explained the project at hand to be sure that I am using the best resources available.

We were using Adobe InDesign with the Datamerge feature, we needed this because it was a way for ...
